Govt spending is out of control.
But Soros and the Rothschilds do need reining in somehow. Soros is an insane manipulator of world currencies and should reside in jail.edit on 27-12-2011 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: spelling
Wow. Who would have noticed that "soros and the rothschilds" need reining in, when all you hypocrites are the first TO ENCOURAGE unlimited wealth, no taxation, no government spending, no social welfare.

Several years later, a Paris-based prosecutor reopened the case against Soros and two other French businessmen, disregarding the COB's findings. This resulted in Soros' 2005 conviction for insider trading by the Court of Appeals (he was the only one of the three to receive a conviction). The French Supreme Court confirmed the conviction on June 14, 2006, but reduced the penalty to the minimum.[39]
His insider trading conviction was upheld by the highest court in France on June 14, 2006.[39] In December 2006, he appealed to the European Court of Human Rights on various grounds including that the 14-year delay in bringing the case to trial precluded a fair hearing.[41] On the basis of Article 7 of the European convention on human rights, stating that no person may be punished for an act that was not a criminal offense at the time that it was committed, the Court agreed to hear the appeal.[42] In October 2011, the court rejected his appeal in a 4–3 decision, saying that Soros has been aware of the risk of breaking insider trading laws.[43]
Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the "central focus of my life." He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.
Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”
Despite working as an investor and currency speculator, he argues that the current system of financial speculation undermines healthy economic development in many underdeveloped countries. Soros blames many of the world's problems on the failures inherent in what he characterizes as market fundamentalism. His opposition to many aspects of globalization has made him a controversial figure.
Victor Niederhoffer said of Soros: "Most of all, George believed even then in a mixed economy, one with a strong central international government to correct for the excesses of self-interest."

What I undestood from all that was that Soros talks socialist but acts capitalist. He's a capitalist in socialist's clothing. The rest seems contradictory since making him out to be a fake socialist really doesn't make for much of an argument.

It is natural for me to have more sympathy for george soros than the koch brothers, since I share many common ideas with him. However a criminal is still a criminal. A world government may be inevitable but I sure as hell do not have to support global capitalism with rock bottom tariffs and 20% unemployment.
We need a resource based economy which can only come to frutition with market socialism/social democracy. Unthwarted greed is what is causing companies to leave america, exploit third world workforce and cause enviromental problems.
Why should the non wealthy support capitalism and even with capitalism why the selective enforcement of anti-trust laws, repealing of the glass-steagel act, leveraged buyouts and a first amendment misconstrued to allow donations??

If you think only left wingers commit insider trading and really want socialism in america then you are more dellusional than I thought.
Why would someone profiting in the billions annually want socialism? Why would someone investing millions in america want socialism? It is a direct conflict of interest to their person. They only want global capitalism, exactly like we have now, with as few laws as possible and immunity to the laws anyway.
I find it interesting most criminals get caught in europe, which has mild socialism, then ever get caught in america.
Distribution of wealth is a necessity to any organised society, not only for social services which make up a fraction of the nations expenses, but to provide for schooling, a military, police. fire department, public services such as parks and libraries, roads, air and sea ports, etc. Without taxation the nation becomes poor, the needy suffer and wealthy hoarde all the wealth.
Not only that but the higher a taxation system is on the super-wealthy the fewer rothschilds, rockefellers, soros, vanderbilts, duponts exist. I have no beef with earning wealth and accumulating it, but please do not use it to purchase interest in the government and make me your slave. Keep the money to yourself or go visit someother planet with it.
America has been subverted a long time ago with right wingers.of whom all are either super-wealthy, religious fanatics or stock market babyboomers. The last two do the work for the tiny first class cause they are naive and over zealous.

At the root of the dazzling revolutionary implosion and collapse of socialism and central planning in the "socialist bloc" is what everyone concedes to be a disastrous economic failure. The peoples and the intellectuals of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union are crying out not only for free speech, democratic assembly, and glasnost, but also for private property and free markets.
Before Ludwig von Mises raised the calculation problem in his celebrated article in 1920,[1] everyone, socialists and non-socialists alike, had long realized that socialism suffered from an incentive problem. If, for example, everyone under socialism were to receive an equal income, or, in another variant, everyone was supposed to produce "according to his ability" but receive "according to his needs," then, to sum it up in the famous question: Who, under socialism, will take out the garbage? That is, what will be the incentive to do the grubby jobs, and, furthermore, to do them well? Or, to put it another way, what would be the incentive to work hard and be productive at any job?
The traditional socialist answer held that the socialist society would transform human nature, would purge it of selfishness, and remold it to create a New Socialist Man. That new man would be devoid of any selfish, or indeed any self-determined, goals; his only wish would be to work as hard and as eagerly as possible to achieve the goals and obey the orders of the socialist State. Throughout the history of socialism, socialist ultras, such as the early Lenin and Bukharin under "War Communism," and later Mao Tse-tung and Che Guevara, have sought to replace material by so-called "moral" incentives. This notion was properly and wittily ridiculed by Alexander Gray as "the idea that the world may find its driving force in a Birthday Honours List (giving to the King, if necessary, 165 birthdays a year)."[2] At any rate, the socialists soon found that voluntary methods could hardly yield them the New Socialist Man. But even the most determined and bloodthirsty methods could not avail to create this robotic New Socialist Man. And it is a testament to the spirit of freedom that cannot be extinguished in the human breast that the socialists continued to fail dismally, despite decades of systemic terror.

The guys mentioned above did just that and now they are using their money and position to keep everyone else subservient to the State.
You said it yourself they need to be reined in but how would that happen? It would have to be throught power given to the government to do that and if they do that to them then they can do it to anybody/everybody else. I think that that is what the OP is talking about.

If this is true then why fight against what is written? The one world government will happen according to Revelations.

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
The book is referred to, and quoted, in Jude 14-15:
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these [men], saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
Compare this with Enoch 1:9, translated from the Ethiopic (found also in Qumran scroll 4Q204=4QEnochc ar, col I 16-18):[12]
"And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
